Papago

Finally, PAPAGO! GPS Navigation arrives at Google Play Store. It covers Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand and Taiwan maps. Unlike previous version which which can be used on single Android device per license, this PAPAGO! M11 is based on your Google account just like other Android applications and games in Play Store. Therefore, you can install PAPAGO! M11 on multiple Android devices now. Good move here. Personally, I prefer to use PAPAGO! GPS Navigation than Sygic because it has much detail maps. You still can find small places’ Point of Interest (POI) because the maps are updated by MalFreeMaps community. And it is updated much frequent than Sygic.

Normally, cooked Android ROM for HTC HD2 does not have your location data in gps.conf (unless you live in the same place as the ROM chef). It was set to his region. Therefore, it is hard for you to get a fast GPS signal lock on at your place…

Thanks Nima for reminding me to post this ~ FasterFix. It is an Android application that helps you to set the GPS NTP time settings in your gps.conf file. Therefore, you don’t need to edit it by yourself with Root Explorer.

Yeah… The latest free Papago maps was released from MFM. The last release was on April 2010. I can have the latest maps on my Papago X5 for Android now.
